Yeah, for some reason I don’t remember it, as I kept breaking the speed limit 
When I get round to trying 2 I’m going to revisit 1 and see if they bothered translating the DC triggers to analogue buttons.
Didn’t realise there was an arcade version - do you have any interesting reading material/videos/photos on it?
Im afraid not. It’s basically the PS2 game is a reworked 18 Wheeler cabinet.
My second Otaku Games Switch came in - forgive the messy cables I’ll be tying them up and swapping out some of them for shorter versions.
CPS3 with DarkSoft (but mainly to play SF3TS as everything else on CPS3 is trash)
In the hunt is a great choice. Im happy the saturn port is pretty much arcade perfect as far as I know.
You can really see the roots of metal slug shine through in both the graphics and game mechanics.
I own the jpn saturn version and while it is a passable port which I really enjoyed playing, it does suffer from a lot of slowdown and VPD1/2 misalignment (the sprites used for certain background effects don’t line up perfectly and you can see the “seams” so to speak).
What’s interesting is that metal slug saturn also suffers from the exact same problems. Again, MS Saturn is totally worth it and a good port, but both are seemingly not optimized for the saturn’s CPU(s) at all.
End of the day, there’s no bad way to play this game.
Oh I bet that’s fun. I’ve spent a good five hours on Tokyo Bus Guide 2 and it really would make for a great arcade translation.
Really jealous of that In The Hunt PCB, been “hunting” for one myself LOL.
Really want a CPS3 system too, for Third Strike and JoJo. And Warzard. Such a capable hardware, shame about its wasted potential.
EDIT: Yeah no ITH port is arcade perfect, Saturn version is less accurate than the PS1 version, at least as far as Japanese versions go.
I’ve read that the PS1 version has less slowdown than the arcade!
I think for this particular game that’s a plus, since slowdown in In The Hunt is not the good kind of slowdown like in danmaku shooters where it’s necessary, in this game it just doesn’t help and it’s a bit bothersome. Saturn version has even worse slowdown than the arcade original, and it has that awful CG opening which ruins the presentation.
There’s a fair amount of slowdown on the original PCB too! But yeah, the PS1 port is quite good. Apparently the Saturn port won’t boot on a lot of systems.
Very true. Even had trouble booting the disk image on my Saturn ode, but my physical version works sans probleme.
Happy to see this pointed out!
I believe there is a bug in the Saturn version that if you have a controller plugged into port one on start up it hangs and won’t load. You need to have it plugged into port two and then switch it over. It’s been a while since I’ve played it but I think that’s how it works.
I’ve really enjoyed playing In the Hunt on Switch via Arcade Archives. Global leaderboards always make those releases among the best
Initial D Extreme Stage and Namco Museum Battle Collection. Both with gorgeous inside cover art, both with thick information dense full colour instruction manuals.
Extreme Stage is pretty fun. I need to spend more time with it.
WRC Rally Evolved and PSP Initial D, along with Witch and the Hundred Knight, which received an extremely polarising reception due to what does seem like a lack of restraint in game design. Game seems like it has hundreds of mechanics thrown into it.
Speaking of which, this isn’t the first shrink wrapped PAL PS3 game to arrive somewhat damaged, the shrink wrapping is so tight that it warps the front (and rear) cover film.
I’ve been busy with other things so haven’t cracked this open yet but I received it recently. Enjoy much of my Wii collection among others in the reflection. 
I finally bit the bullet and picked up a NESRGB kit for my AV Famicom.
I’m used to waiting a while for these kinds of deliveries but as the kit is an Aussie product it only took two days to get here from Sydney which was a nice surprise.
Originally I was going to send it to a modder - but my skills (and tools) have improved over the last year so I’ll be doing it myself. It seems I’ve timed it rather well as Voultar just demonstrated a new (and easy) method of mixing expansion audio into the NESRGB audio amp.
I’m not too worried about desoldering the PPU as I have a desoldering station and I’ve got some old practice boards so I’ve been soldering and desoldering similar throughhole ICs as practice. Looking forward to finally having this thing up and running!
